Stop me if you've heard this one before: The monkeypox vaccine is reportedly starting to fail as more and more "breakthrough cases" pop up

I am having the queerest sense of deja vu here:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed there have been a number of breakthrough cases of monkeypox after preliminary reports detail the efficacy of the vaccine.

In a press briefing, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, WHO's technical lead for monkeypox, discussed reports of breakthrough monkeypox cases in people who received a prophylaxis vaccine following exposure to the virus.

"We have known from the beginning that this vaccine would not be a silver bullet, that it would not meet all the expectations that are being put on it and that we don't have firm efficacy data or effectiveness data in this context," Lewis explained.

Hmmmmmmm.

The current monkeypox vax was developed years ago, but it looks like the only way to 100% avoid the virus is to not have gay sex. Sad!

At least it's not a hastily-rushed-to-market mRNA jab for a coronavirus!

"The fact that we're beginning to see some breakthrough cases is also really important information because it tells us that the vaccine is not 100% effective in any given circumstance, whether preventive or post-exposure," she continued. "We cannot expect 100% effectiveness at the moment based on this emerging information."

Everyone who got the monkeypox vaccine thinking it would actually prevent monkeypox only to find out that it won't necessarily do that:

Ah well, maybe the next round of vaccines will do the trick! Fingers crossed!
